Well, if Darwin is correct ( that is, we all came from a chance process via random mutation and natural selection) , then we have to admit that some races are INHERENTLY more advanced in the natural selection process than others.

That doesn't follow at all. Race is a human construct, not a biological one, and there's nothing in the theory of natural selection to say one is more "advanced" than another.

And if Darwin is correct, there really is nothing morally wrong with being a Nazi or being a supporter of the KKK.

You seem confused about the scope of Darwin's theory. It doesn't address good, evil or morality in any way.

You mean there is no difference between groupings of humans based on shared physical qualities?

RE:You seem confused about the scope of Darwin’s theory. It doesn’t address good, evil or morality in any way.

Ahhh but there is — IMPLICITLY. The theory might not address what is right or wrong, but IF TRUE, that is, we all evolved out of accidental and random atoms, then what we call morality is simply a result of “evolution”.

BOTTOM LINE, Does evolution tell us whether a Mother Theresa is “morally superior” to Hitler?

If random mutation plus natural selection is true, It seems that they are simply differently evolved results of a natural process.
